Hi there,
Long time no see, sorry about the delay. Was busy with real life and eventually got sidetracked doing other things in my free time.
Couple notes this chapter.
All the members (so far) from Mitsuyoshi’s guild have their names written in katakana and don’t use kanji like for example: Kitsune’s name is written as キツネ instead of 狐.
As for the alphabetical order part of the chapter. Unlike the English alphabet, Japanese uses their own system to organize words. In this case if you want to search for a word like Swimsuit (水着) that starts with “Mi”, You would need to go to the section of the sounds “Ma, Mi, Mu, Me Mo”. Fortunately all the other words mentioned sorta work in English but just the Swimsuit part didn’t.
Regarding the part about Yukimori…the person historically had multiple nicknames hence the other names. I did a bit of investigation regarding him to get some parts but it was all rather confusing since as far as I know Hojo Soun was another person. Maybe there are historical facts that I don’t know about where he might have gone by that name but there’s no way for me to verify them in a timely manner so you’ll have to deal with me leaving that part like that.
Anyway, enjoy the chapter, dunno when I’ll be able to get the next one out.
「So, these are the rewards for dealing with those guys. But are you really fine with this? Since you guys were the ones that had to go through a hard time, the majority of us were thinking that we would be fine with a 3:7 split.」(Mitsuyoshi)
The reward for dealing with PKs depends on the number of their crimes…in this case, it depends on the 『Degree of Crime』 that the players we defeated had done.
It depends on factors like for example, the lower the lv of the opponents they kill they higher the reward is, among various factors…in conclusion, the total sum we got for defeating 『Night’s Edge』 was of 10 million G.
Seems like they have killed quite a few players.
Since the average gold that PKs give these days is 100k G, these guys are worth many times that amount.
Furthermore, the death penalty PKs get is much harsher than that of normal players, the game balance takes measures so that the number of PKs doesn’t increase too much.
In regards to the distribution of the reward this time, Mitsuyoshi-san and Yumir are currently discussing it.
「That’s not the case! Even though it’s temporary, I don’t want our alliance to show restraints among each other! It’s true that our responsibilities were bigger in a sense, but if you think about number of people that participated in the end, a 5:5 split is a valid assessment!」(Yumir)
「Ooh…I apologize for saying this but, this old man didn’t think Yumir-chan would be able to do those kinds of calculations. I’m sorry.」(Mitsuyoshi)
「–Or so, that’s Hind said!」(Yumir)
「Ah, eh?」(Mitsuyoshi)
Because those words slipped from Yumir’s mouth, Mitsuyoshi-san ended up making quite the idiotic face.
I wonder why, his reactions seem to be quite old fashioned, maybe by a couple generations at that…even though he looks quite young, I guess he’s really an old man.
This is the 『Japanese Style “Rin’s”』 guild home in 『Port Notos』.
If we talk about its exterior, you could call it a 「Samurai Residence」 from a single glance.
Seems like on top of buying the plot of land, they made the building themselves.
I knew that such a thing was possible to begin with but…I never thought someone would actually do it.
Usually, people would buy something that was already constructed like we did or they would rent a place.
Even now, we are sitting on top of tatami mats that were made from scratch while discussing.
Seems like this is the drawing room.
From our side it’s only me and Yumir, from their side it’s the three members that act as the leaders of the guild.
「Bufuh! Ahahahahaha!! You guys are really interesting!」
We could hear laughing coming from behind the fox mask.
This woman is the one that waved at us while wearing Miko garments back in 『Town of Canaris』.
Within the guild, she’s the one that leads the healing type division, it seems like she’s a support type Shinto Priest like me.
Her name is 『Kitsune-san』…it’s such an easy to guess name that I can’t even comment on it.
「That being said, Yuusha-chan, your beauty lives up to your reputation! Is it fine if I take some screenshots? Is it OK? Is it?」(Kitsune)
「I don’t really mind? Go ahead!」(Yumir)
「Stop it Kitsune, that’s rude! It’s your first time meeting each other!」
The last member of their side is that young man that was leading their detached force coming from the Notos side.
While reprimanding Kitsune-san, he was taking glances at Yumir and his cheeks were reddening.
「Yukki, why are you getting nervous? Isn’t it fine? You are just too tense.」(Kitsune)
「Ah, by Yukki, could it mean that you haven’t taken the name of Shikanosuke but the name of Yukimori?」 (Hind)
After I said such a statement…the young man with the horned helmet, whose name I haven’t heard yet, opened his eyes wide.
Then he smiled…wait, this reaction, where have I seen it before.
「That’s right! You sure know your stuff! What’s wrong with it being a common name? It’s not like there are no stories where he called himself with those names, but most stage plays and storytellers during the Edo period called him Yukimori right? Besides, am I the only one that feels weird when I hear the names Shikanosuke or Hojo Soun? I just want to call him Yamanaka Yukimori? Ise Seiji for some reason! The nicknames or other names he’s called by are not really bad, but I think it’s best to call him by his original name if we consider his way of living! You think so too right!?」(Yukki)
Ah…it’s like that time with Selene-san but this guy is more of a pain in the ass than her.
History otaku…no, this is something else. For some reason, I believe this person has 「a different scent」?
I remember that the person itself left letters behind where he called himself Yamanaka Shikanosuke.
It’s like that. This person is definitely the type that would lunge at you if you were to call Sanada Yukimura, Yukimori.
「What incessant talking. Half of what he said didn’t even register in my brain you know?」(Yumir)
「Uheh, Yukki entered his pain in the ass mode. Sorry about this. True Self and Yuusha-chan.」(Kitsune)
「Oh, no worries, it’s fine. Eh…history can be interpreted in different ways as new information comes out, so I think it’s fine for each person to call him in the way they like the most. It’s just that, instead of calling him Shikanosuke, I believe that Yukimori sounds way cooler-」(Hind)
「Right!? You think so too!? Look, listen to what he said Kitsune! There are people out there that understand!」(Yukki)
「Yeah yeah, sure thing.」(Kitsune)
Yukimori-san overreacted in an exaggerated manner when I reassured him as to not dampen his mood.
Then he talked to Kitsune-san while looking really happy.
However, huh…yup, he’s really into it as expected!
I think this is going to go well.
After I listened to them talking while staying silent, he eventually proceeded to introduce himself properly.
His player name was『Yukimori』, he’s the one that leads the guild’s vanguards.
He’s a defensive type, Heavy warrior and the main shield of the guild, however 「Just don’t make me take magical hits!」 or so he says.
Mitsuyoshi-san, who had been looking at us talking, opened his mouth after he kept nodding.
「As I thought, Hind-kun is more mature than people his own age. Is there an old man inside you?」(Mitsuyoshi)
「What do you even mean by that…there’s nothing like that.」(Hind)
「This guy has always been like this. That’s why, he also has a good reputation among the teachers at school.」(Yumir)
「Ah, I can somehow see that. True Self gives this vibe that would make you want to suggest him as class president.」(Kitsune)
「What are you talking about, Kitsune? How did you arrive at that conclusion from the current conversation?」(Yukki)
Turning towards Yukimori-san, who was the only person that was unable to understand, Kitsune-san just stared at him in silence.
I wonder what expression she has under that mask…most likely, she’s probably looking quite dumbfounded.
「Yukki is really Yukki…」(Kitsune)
「Huh?」(Yukki)
Anyway, I definitely won’t become the class president, never again.
The last time they recommended me for the position, I was forced to do a ton of troublesome things and it was quite a painful experience.
Furthermore, our homeroom teacher at the time was a newly appointed female teacher…it was in my first year of middle school.
I don’t even want to remember those days.
「Kukuh, you are frowning, Hind-kun. Seems like the position of class president is bringing back bad memories.」(Mitsuyoshi)
「Leave me alone.」(Hind)
Now that I think about it, this is quite unexpected.
Since we were talking about the leaders of the guild that Mitsuyoshi-san made, I definitely thought they were going to be people that gave the sensation of being calm and collected.
The members of the guild are women and men of different ages but…these two are quite young.
We finished our brief introductions and we then received various proposals from Mitsuyoshi-san that were actually good for us.
「…Is this really fine? For us to be able to freely use the facilities here during our stay.」(Hind)
「Sure thing. If there’s something you don’t want others to hear, you have the option to go to an inn in the village, but if we are going to work together during this event, isn’t it inconvenient to have you travel back and forth? I’ll prepare a room for you guys so feel free to use it.」(Mitsuyoshi)
While I was feeling apologetic, Yumir’s attitude was quite plain and simple.
「That would be helpful! Thanks!」(Yumir)
「Yup, that’s a nice reply. True Self, Yuusha-chan is quite popular among girls right? Especially those younger than her.」(Kitsune)
Kitsune-san’s eyes, even while being hidden behind a mask, conveyed immense curiosity.
Somehow, I’ve been able to gauge the personality of this woman through our conversations.
「You are correct. Do you like gossiping, Kitsune-san? You sure sound like you are having fun while talking. It livens you up just seeing you have fun.」(Hind)
「Though I often get told that I’m too noisy because I talk too much! If it gets too irritating, feel free to just tell me OK? I’ll stay quiet for a while if you do!」(Kitsune)
If she says for a while that would mean she would start talking again after a bit…well, there’s no doubt that she’s a person with a cheerful personality.
That being said, we left the room while having Kitsune-san show us around the place.
We changed locations, and we were led to a room about 12 tatami mats in size.
During our stay, we could use this place to log in and log out.
It was a Japanese-style room as expected, until a while ago, Siesta-chan was lying down while saying 「Tatami~」.
Now being the time it is, most of the members had already logged out.
We thankfully were somehow able to reach the ocean area where the event was going to be held in a single evening.
「That being the case, Hind-dono! We have to check on our promise!」(Tobi)
「Yeah yeah I know. Nothing will change even if you try to make me hurry up, calm down.」(Hind)
The only ones left here were Tobi and me.
His objective was if the aforementioned item’s blueprint existed or not.
I took out my sewing set from within my inventory and I turned over the pages that listed the blueprints.
「It should be in “Ma”. Eh…mantle, mask, mat, wait…isn’t this thing in alphabetical order? The order is all over the place.
Mi section…Military Pouch, Military Jacket, Military Shirt, Military Cargo Pants, Military Cap…」(Hind)
「Why are there so many military items!? Guns don’t even exist here! Kenji would be the only one happy about that kind of thing! Next one, next!」(Tobi)
Gunpowder does seem to exist though, wonder if it would be possible to create small arms?
Even if you were able to, there are quite a few games where there’s not much difference in power when compared to arrows or magic.
「After Military there’s the “mini” type of items. I’m going to skip this part.」(Hind)
「Swimsuits come…swimsuits please…」(Tobi)
Tobi intertwined his hands in front of his face as if to pray.
That much? Is he that desperate to see swimsuits?
「Your worldly desires are leaking…ah.」(Hind)
「What do you mean by “ah”! Show me!」(Tobi)
Tobi snatched the blueprint from me and looked at it intensely.
After staying silent for a bit, he returned it to me, he fell to his knees and then threw both of his arms towards the ceiling and stood still.
「Uoooooooooooo!!!」(Tobi)
He looked delighted, it was just as if he was an athlete that just made a comeback and reached the goal in a race.
They really exist? Swimsuits…
